Mark & Pam

Mark and Pam were married out in Western MA last fall. As many of you know, I grew up out there, so when Pam contacted me in 2012, I leapt at the chance to photograph another wedding in the beautiful Berkshires. They were having a lovely ceremony at a church in downtown Stockbridge (yes, that Stockbridge made famous by James Taylor’s song, “Sweet Baby James” – a hometown favorite), and their reception was going to be at Tanglewood. I also grew up going to see James Taylor at Tanglewood, so you can see how this is all coming together, and can imagine my excitement. But this isn’t about me!

I met Pam at her mother’s summer home in Stockbridge for some getting ready photos, while – yes, you guessed it! Sarah headed over to photograph the guys getting ready.
Then it was on to Tanglewood for some photos of the two of them. Pam & Mark were so gracious to allow for plenty of time for their photos, and we were able to use many of the amazing backdrops at Tanglewood. I love when we have lots of portrait time! It not only gives me time to be creative and give my couples plenty of variety, it also lets the bride and groom have a little break during a hectic day, and just spend time together.


The cocktail hour was held outside the Visitor’s Center at Tanglewood, and the reception itself was held inside of the BSO practice shed, which was incredibly cool. (And had amazing acoustics too!)

Mark made all of these signs for the reception area – aren’t they perfect? They were such a great touch for the gorgeous grounds of Tanglewood – as was this giant Jenga game he made too!

The toasts given at Mark & Pam’s wedding are among some of my most favorite ever. They were touching, poignant, hilarious, and personal. LOVE. I’ve never shown this many toast photos before, but I couldn’t help myself here.


Pam & Mark, thank you both so much for allowing me to be there to capture such a wonderful day in your lives. I”m so glad to have met you both!
